MTL - Long Time Loved Friend-Chapter 26 titular lover

Yun Zhi's eyes are clean and sincere, but there are vague hesitation and entanglement. The eyes are complicated, but there is no expectation and love.

Yu Mingxia understood the answer Yun Zhi wanted to hear, and said softly, "Have you forgotten what you said?"

"Ah?" Yun Zhi, who was asked a question instead of hearing an answer, was a little confused.

"As long as we don't misunderstand each other."

Yu Mingxia's words brought back Yun Zhi's memory, and only then did she remember what she had said to Yu Mingxia before.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot." The meaning of this must be that she doesn't like her. The person who said this actually forgot, and asked the other party if he liked her rather narcissistically.

Yun Zhi: "..." I really want to find a crack in the ground and drill down.

But embarrassment is embarrassment, and the apology should be said.

"Sorry, don't take what you said just now," Yun Zhi straightened his back, and said again, "You're right, as long as we don't misunderstand each other, everything will be fine."

Although she felt embarrassed, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

And all of this was seen by Yu Mingxia.

Sure enough, this was the answer she wanted to hear.

Yu Mingxia lowered her eyes, not to mention being sad, it would be strange if Yun Zhi, who had just "broken love", expected her to say she liked her.

"Yunzhi, you will make me feel bad about myself." Yu Mingxia said with a light smile, half-jokingly.

Yun Zhi was stunned, realizing that his tone of relief just now was too obvious, as if he didn't want Yu Mingxia to like her.

Although, she really didn't want to.

"That's not what I meant," Yun Zhi pursed his lips hesitantly, and whispered, "We are friends, I don't want to lose friends anymore."

Yu Mingxia was stunned by her words, and asked after a while, "So serious?"

"Yeah," Yun Zhi smiled wryly, "Why don't we be ambiguous?"

On the way out from the center of the business district, Yun Zhi thought many times what she would do if she were Nan Qiao.

She thought that if she didn't like it, she wouldn't think about delaying others. Maybe you will choose to stay away, and wait until the time is right to see if fate can be your friend.

Yu Mingxia suddenly felt lucky, but also felt that Yun Zhi was too decisive. It can be seen that Nan Qiao really hurt her deeply.

Thinking of this, Yu Mingxia became in a bad mood, regretful and painful, maybe she should have been braver back then.

Seeing Yunzhi looking at her silently, Yu Mingxia looked away guiltily, and murmured softly, "Fortunately, I have someone I like."

"That's right," Yun Zhi woke up suddenly, patted his forehead, and regretted, "I was just talking nonsense."

That wedding dress is not a decoration. I have liked someone for more than ten years, how could I suddenly fall in love with someone I have known for less than a month.

This is really looking down on yourself.

Yun Zhi suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

"Just pretend you didn't hear what you said just now, I'll go back first."

Based on what she knew about Yu Mingxia in the past, she would definitely say it's okay, so Yun Zhi planned to slip away as soon as she finished speaking.

What I didn't expect was that I heard Yu Mingxia's contemptuous reply: "No, I have already heard it, and I am very sad."

These words made her want to escape and stopped abruptly, she turned her head and looked at Yu Mingxia in surprise, and even looked around, wondering if what she said just now really came from her mouth.

Seeing the undisguised astonishment on her face, Yu Mingxia burst out laughing, putting all her emotions on her face.

"I'm hungry, eat supper with me, and comfort the hurt I just suffered from being rejected by you."

Yu Mingxia's voice was soft, and it was especially clear and melodious amidst the chirping of insects in this summer night.

But…

"I didn't dislike you just now, I just short-circuited my brain, isn't it because I'm worried that I accidentally did something bad?"

Yun Zhi followed her, afraid that she might misunderstand and kept explaining.

Yu Mingxia turned around and opened the co-pilot's door, and answered her: "Yeah, let's get in the car."

It's like believing her and not believing her.

Yun Zhi got into the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and when Yu Mingxia got into the driver's seat, he whispered again: "Really, I didn't lie to you, I just went through some things, and I understand how hurtful it is to do that. ,so…"

Yu Mingxia's hands on the seat belt paused, realizing that this was all an injury she had suffered, and her disgust for Nan Qiao deepened in her heart, so she couldn't help interrupting her: "I know, you are different from her, don't worry about it. Theories are all applied to the body, and the applicability of different species will be different, you know?"

Species... different?

Yun Zhi blinked, what did she hear just now?

Was Yu Mingxia swearing just now?

"There's a food stall outside, shall we go there?"

Yu Mingxia had a relaxed attitude and a casual and gentle tone, as if the words just now did not come from her mouth.

Yunzhi nodded dully.

The car restarted, and when the scenery outside the window began to reverse continuously, Yun Zhicai quietly glanced at Yu Mingxia's gentle side face.

Yu Mingxia seemed a little angry just now, but she was so gentle when she spoke.

Cool feeling.

After a while, when Yun Zhi realized that this was not a nympho, he coughed lightly and looked away.

The food stall is less than one kilometer away from Yunzhi's house, and there are many people at night, so it is a lively time.

Yun Zhi has no research on eating, but he prefers spicy food.

The two picked a place. When he was about to sit down, Yun Zhi suddenly remembered something, and his movements froze.

"Why don't we change to another one? There are several other restaurants in the past, and those restaurants are lighter."

After hearing her finished speaking, Yu Mingxia understood the reason why she said that, and raised his hand to grab her wrist: "It's not that fragile, sit down."

The two sat and stood, Yun Zhi looked at Yu Mingxia who was holding her wrist, a little surprised.

If she remembered correctly, this was the first time Yu Mingxia took the initiative to pull her, and her ears were no longer red.

Yu Mingxia didn't let go of her, but let her observe graciously, and said in a gentle voice, "Sit down, the bosses are here."

Yun Zhi sat down dully, she always felt that something was different about Yu Mingxia.

Because it was too late, the two didn't order much.

The reason why Yu Mingxia took her out for supper was just because he thought it would be more lively here, and staying here would be better than staying at home alone.

As long as the environment is quiet, people tend to think wildly.

According to the question Yun Zhi asked her just now, she was right to worry.

The wind in summer night is cool and comfortable, the lights along this road are all on, the billboards at the bus station opposite, the neon signs of the shops on the roadside, and the noise of the crowd, the sound of hip-hop and chatting can be heard endlessly.

This area is close to the university town, and there are more young people visiting the store. When the two sat down in front of the store, they attracted the attention of many people.

Yun Zhi was holding his chin, looking around, feeling the cool wind on his face by the way.

At this time, a girl approached her and asked cautiously, "Sister, can I add a WeChat?"

It was not Yun Zhi who was stunned first, but Yu Mingxia.

She forgot about it.

Seeing someone accosting Yun Zhi, Yu Mingxia's eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to speak out to help her resolve it, he heard another female voice, saying the same thing, but this time it was her asking.

Asked late but was rejected directly.

Yunzhi was still thinking of words, but Yu Mingxia had already refused.

With the reference answer, Yunzhi no longer struggled, and rejected the girl according to her words.

During the period, several men came with the same purpose.

Someone even asked her directly if she wanted to fall in love.

As the number of times increased, Yu Mingxia also became indifferent from the initial annoyance. Because everyone Yunzhi refused.

"All rejected?" Yu Mingxia asked.

"um hum."

At this time, the waiter had just put the prepared food on the table, and the aroma was overflowing. Yun Zhi rubbed her belly and felt the hunger coming from it. She hadn't eaten for six hours, and she didn't expect to be so hungry. It has to be delicious food.

It's funny to say that after she bumped into Nan Qiao, she ate delicious food to calm down.

"Don't you want to try?" Yu Mingxia asked tentatively.

"Try what?" Yun Zhi was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, and said again, "My current state is not suitable for a new relationship."

She can give up Nan Qiao, but it doesn't mean she can immediately devote herself to the next relationship, which is unfair to the next person.

And for her, love doesn't have to be there.

"When will it be?" Yu Mingxia pretended to be nonchalant and asked.

Yun Zhi took a bite of the skewer, but didn't notice her abnormality, and replied, "I don't know, when the fate arrives?"

Yu Mingxia wasn't hungry at first, but seeing Yun Zhi eating, he was very hungry, so he took a bite imitating her appearance.

Afterwards, the boss served a plate of crayfish, and Yun Zhi tentatively stretched out his hand before touching the lobster, but then withdrew his hand.

Although she really wants to eat it now, it's too troublesome, so let's eat crayfish after eating enough other things. Yunzhi planned this way.

Yun Zhi's thoughts were written all over her face, and Yu Mingxia saw her movements and expressions in her eyes.

"Can I drink?" Yun Zhi glanced at the people around him and asked Yu Mingxia when he saw that there were wine bottles on their tables.

"Of course." Because of her question, Yu Mingxia was very happy.

"Then if I get drunk later, do you remember to take me back? 7-11-5, fingerprint unlock."

Yun Zhi spoke seriously, probably because he has a deep understanding of his drinking capacity.

"Okay." Yu Mingxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she also knew that she was not happy today. If alcohol could play a paralyzing effect and make her forget these things for a short time, that would be fine.

But in fact, Yun Zhi just thought that he should drink some wine on this occasion. She had almost forgotten what happened before.

Yun Zhi opened a bottle of wine and filled a glass for the two of them.

As soon as I sat down again, I found that my small bowl was already filled with shrimp.

Yun Zhi raised his head and lowered his eyes, while Yu Mingxia was still peeling shrimp for her with lowered eyes, with a gentle expression.

Yunzhi was moved in his heart: "Woo thank you."

Yu Mingxia chuckled, not understanding why someone could be so cute.

She took a piece of paper out of the tissue box and raised her hand.

Yun Zhi sat there in a daze, seeing the tissue in Yu Mingxia's hand touching the corner of her lips.

Her movements were very light, her eyes were gentle, and she carefully wiped the oil stains on her face by mistake, as if she was treating some rare treasure.

Yun Zhi shook his head, remembering the oolong before, and forced himself not to think about it.

Obviously, isn't that how normal friends come into contact with each other?

Think about Jiang Yuan'an, think about Nan Qiao before.

Maybe it's because she hasn't made a new good friend for a long time, that's why she made such a fuss?

Moreover, Yu Mingxia is gentle by nature, so there is nothing strange about it.

"I don't seem to have asked before, how are you and the person you like now?" Yun Zhi asked cautiously.

Yu Mingxia threw the tissue into the trash can and replied softly, "No progress."

Yun Zhi let out a cry, thinking that she had touched something sad about her, and just about to apologize, she heard her say again:

"Actually, I'm in the same situation as you now."

Yun Zhi quietly waited for her next words.

After all, if her current situation is true, it is not good. If it is similar to her, isn't it also miserable?

"Are you planning to give up on that person?" Yu Mingxia asked again.

Yun Zhi nodded.

"Then my situation is similar to yours." Yu Mingxia lowered his eyes, not looking directly into her eyes.

She clearly understands that in this situation, it is useless to go after her directly.

"Are you going to give up too?" Yun Zhi was surprised, thinking of that wedding dress, and thinking of what he had heard from other people for more than ten years, he felt regretful.

Yu Mingxia said softly, his voice was weak and inaudible.

Yunzhi suddenly felt that the food on the table was tasteless.

She suddenly remembered when Yu Mingxia hugged her for the second time on the path just now.

She said she was sad.

Probably also thought of this favorite person.

Although she didn't know exactly what happened between the two of them, in her opinion, Yu Mingxia was really good, she felt perfect as a friend, let alone a lover.

"If I say she is hateful, will you be angry?" Yun Zhi gritted his teeth.

But she didn't understand what point of Yu Mingxia's smile was touched by these words, which made her laugh so happily.

Say she is happy because of what she said just now, but it seems that she is not.

Because she said, "Better not to."

Yun Zhi pursed his lips, and continued to bury his head in eating what was in front of him, and there were more and more shrimp meat in the bowl.

Looking up at Yu Mingxia: "It's because she doesn't have such a blessing, and I took it all."

After speaking, he pointed to the small bowl in front of him.

Yu Mingxia looked at her and smiled softly, with a doting look on her face.

But Yun Zhi didn't notice it, because all she had in her eyes and heart was the shrimp in the bowl.

"Yunzhi." Yu Mingxia suddenly called her.

Yun Zhi raised his eyes: "Huh?"

"Have you ever thought about finding someone to accompany you through this time? To accompany you when you are sad, and when you miss or even want to look back, there is someone who can help you." Yu Mingxia asked seriously, this is the only thing she can do. What I came up with can be called a shortcut.

Yun Zhi was stunned for a few seconds, thinking that she was trying to persuade him to fall in love to divert his emotions, so he said again: "I really don't want to fall in love now, it's unfair to the other party, and I don't need it, I can resolve it myself."

This time, she really made up her mind, so she won't look back.

She will be disappointed, and occasionally sad, but she will not want to look back.

Yu Mingxia didn't speak any more.

Yun Zhi recalled Yu Mingxia's words before, hesitantly said: "Do you want to fall in love to divert your feelings?"

She thought about it carefully, Yu Mingxia probably didn't want to ask her thoughts, but to ask for her opinion.

"But Ming Xia, it's not really forgetting, it's just avoiding, and it might make the situation even more embarrassing, right? What about the people you've let down?"

Yun Zhi analyzed it carefully, but she didn't think Yu Mingxia would be such a person.

Yu Mingxia poured himself a cup of tea, sipped it lightly, and remained silent.

Yun Zhi was worried that his words were too harsh.

Everyone's situation is different, and everyone's attitude will be different.

What if Yu Mingxia could find a suitable "partner" who would not feel any discomfort?

etc…

Fit and don't mind.

Yun Zhi frowned.

How do you feel you are a good fit?

So Yu Mingxia meant...?

Yu Mingxia put down the teacup, looked up at her, and said softly, "Is it okay?"

May I?

Yun Zhi kept repeating these three words in his ears.

She would not doubt Yu Mingxia's intentions, she could feel that the warmth just now was real, Yu Mingxia had no reservations about her, and she could even tell her this kind of thought directly.

"You mean... fake love?" Yun Zhi said these three words with difficulty.

really.

Yu Mingxia didn't like her, and she didn't like Yu Mingxia either.

Yu Mingxia knew that she had just broken up in love and wanted to give up on Nan Qiao.

And she also knew that Yu Mingxia wanted to give up the person she had liked for ten years.

The purpose between them is the same.

It can even be regarded as mutual utilization.

"Lover in name." Yu Mingxia looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent.

Only in this way can she blatantly intervene between her and Nan Qiao.

Maybe it was because she had waited too long, and finally waited for this opportunity, which prompted her to take a risky move.

Judging from Nan Qiao's temperament back then, she would not let Yun Zhi go.

She can not love Yunzhi, but Yunzhi can't not love her, nor can others love Yunzhi.

She knew very well that this was Nan Qiao's despicableness.

Yun Zhi was a little messy, and even began to regret why he didn't go upstairs directly but turned back and babbled nonsense, and why he had to come for supper.

She looked at the still full wine glass on the table, then at the bottomed teacup, and asked weakly, "Is there alcohol in your tea? Are you drunk?"

According to her understanding of Yu Mingxia, these words did not seem like what she said.

"I'm seriously trying to find a way, Yun Zhi." Yu Mingxia replied.

Yunzhi: "..."

To be honest, she was really a little moved just now.

Let her fall in love with others, she is afraid of delaying others, and she doesn't want to waste time.

But if the other party is Yu Ming Xia Shi who has the same trouble, Yun Zhi's heart will be moved.

Moreover, she and Yu Mingxia are friends, so it is right to help a friend, just like when Yu Mingxia hugged her to comfort her just now.

But…

"If I refuse..." Yun Zhi asked tentatively.

Yu Mingxia's eyes darkened, and he replied: "Then you can treat me as drunk and talking nonsense, we are still good friends."

"If I agree, what should I do after that?" Yun Zhi was worried.

"I'll talk about the rest later. The only thing I can guarantee is that you are still my important person."

Yu Mingxia's serious expression made her feel dazed for a while.

This should mean that they are friends no matter what.

It is better to say that it is to heal each other's emotional wounds than to use each other.

but she...

In the end, Yun Zhi pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions.

"let me see."

Yun Zhi never thought that her insomnia tonight would be because of Yu Mingxia.

The whole night, she fell into a drowsy sleep, thinking about Yu Mingxia's words.

Although insomnia, but the effect is indeed obvious.

Throughout the night, she didn't think of Nan Qiao at all, let alone in a dream, she didn't even think of her name.

It wasn't until the next morning when Yun Zhi woke up that her mind was full of Yu Mingxia's words, her head froze, and she couldn't remember why Yu Mingxia said such words, so she thought of Nan Qiao backwards.

Yun Zhi patted his head.

In fact, Yu Mingxia only made a suggestion, and the choice is in her hands.

Agree or reject, they are still friends.

Yu Mingxia did not force her.

But what bothered her more was—

Yu Mingxia was so kind, so kind that it scared her.

What if she really fell into it by accident?

She doesn't want to go through something like this again.

Yun Zhi, who had just woken up, fell back on the bed again, buried his head in the pillow, and whispered, "Someone help me."

Unexpectedly, this will delay the working time.

It was almost ten o'clock when Yunzhi arrived at the company.

The corridor on the thirteenth floor was as empty as ever.

Yun Zhi took a deep breath, then stretched out his hand and pushed open the office door, the hand that was about to say hello was suddenly let go.

Yu Mingxia was not in the office.

Sitting at the desk was Yu Chuxue.

"Where's Ming Xia?" Yun Zhi took two steps back, looked outside the corridor, but still saw no one.

Yu Chuxue didn't even raise her eyelids when she heard the words, she flipped through the fashion magazine in her hand and asked, "I heard you went to the concert with Ming Xia last night?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

It's just watching a concert together, it's nothing unusual, Yu Chuxue may know about it because Yu Mingxia said it.

"It's nothing, I just find it strange. My younger sister has always disliked lively places, so I didn't expect..." Yu Chuxue said leisurely, only speaking in half.

Because the first impression of Yu Chuxue was not very good, until now Yun Zhi doesn't like Yu Chuxue very much, and only maintains superficial politeness.

Hearing her words at first, I just felt a little yin and yang.

"Ming Xia used to be very introverted, didn't like to socialize with people and didn't have many friends. Seeing that she cares about you so much now, as a sister, I am very happy."

Yun Zhi was stunned by Yu Chuxue's sudden change of attitude.

"Except for work, she seldom expresses her thoughts. Although I am her older sister, she won't tell me many things. I don't know how she is happy or sad, so I would like to ask you for help," Yu said. Chuxue said again, "If one day she says something to you, can you pass it on to me? Maybe I can help her when she is sad."

When Yu Chuxue saw Yu Mingxia in the morning, she didn't feel her happiness.

Logically speaking, I just finished listening to the concert with my sweetheart yesterday, so I should be happy.

But at this moment, most of them are regretful, as if she has done something wrong that she regrets.

Even if Yu Mingxia didn't say anything, she could guess that it must have something to do with Yunzhi.

After she said those words, she kept looking at Yun Zhi's expression, seeing her pursing her lips in a daze, she knew that she had guessed right.

Without waiting for Yunzhi's answer, Yu Chuxue pointed to the exhibition room next to her.

"She is in the exhibition room, she looks sad, and she won't let me in, can I trouble you to have a look?"

Yu Chuxue's pleading voice was very gentle, which made Yunzhi change her attitude slightly.

After nodding, Yun Zhi went to the exhibition room.

There was no one in the room outside, so it could only be through the hidden door.

There was only the wedding dress in it.

Is she missing that person?

Yun Zhi sighed, knocked on the secret door, and called her name.

After a while, the door opened from the inside.

As she thought, Yu Mingxia was thinking about others, looking very sad.

In fact, think about it, there is nothing wrong with hugging for warmth.

she sighs.

"I've considered what you said yesterday."

"Actually, what I'm worried about is—"

"What if I really like you?"
